We may call ourselves a little red dot but I believe we are more of a little oddball. We have plenty of practices only Singaporeans do that differs from the rest of the world but its the very crux of what drives our economy.

It is really these things that what makes us, us. *cues National Day song*

So here are some things that only Singaporeans do:

1. We refuse to pay for distilled water at restaurants but we are okay with consuming free tap water.

2. We buy a Certificate of Entitlement (COE) that can cost up to $95,500* to be entitled to own a car for 10 years.This does not include the car or road tax or insurance, just a certificate. *Highest COE recorded in January 2013 for cars in Cat B (Cars above 1600cc or 97kW)
